Default carbon fiber mirror covers

just wondering if anyone would be interested in a group buy on carbon fiber mirror covers? they are real and if you wanna see them goto http://www.elegantwooddesign.com and click on 350z...exterior and you should be able to see them...i have emailed them to see if they would be interested....i think they are very nice...they are made of REAL CF...and its a great piece to add to the 350z...to cover up that ugly black unpainted mirror part...but if you are interested leave me a message on here...thanks

do they work with anything but the stock mirrors though?
like, what if you have Veilside V.2 or Ganador mirrors? Im looking to upgrade my mirrors in the future and so if I get this now I want it to be compatible with my new mirrors when I upgrade them.

According to their website they are $120.00. They look OK but, I have never been a fan of that type of thing. Either make the part out of CF or leave it stock. CF stickers just seem cheesy to me.

well its not really a "sticker" it does stick on but its made of REAL cf...to make the actual part just out of cf would be complicated and kinda pointless...and when it comes to working with aftermarket mirrors my guess would be no...and i might be wrong but you will have to check out the aftermarket mirrors and see where they line up and what not...i just think these would be alot nicer than having that black spot...they should of painted it the same color as the car from the factory but oh well...i figure if we could get these for under 100 shipped itd be a nice and simple touch up...im just lookin for feedback and if it be worth it to even consider a GB on them

Got 'em......love 'em.......... or would jump on this group buy. That would be a great price. Might want to add the b-pillar cover in as a double group buy! Both are real CF with 3M backing.

I have to say I have them and love them too. One of the best exterior mods out there. Subtle yet eye catching!

Looks nice. I wasn't going to touch the b pillars...but maybe after getting these I will.

I'm mostly looking for something to match my varis CF air duct so it's not all by itself.

besides the aesthetics, is there any functional reason to do this?

I got both B-pillar and sidemirror covers (A pillar), along with emblem fillers front and back from Suite E Grafix more than a year ago. I love'em! It gives definitely nice and subtle look.
